throwaway character

a character used in a story or backstory to simply give reason for something; little to no detail is provided about them and they usually aren't necessary in the story at all

An example of a throwaway character: Bob had a mom who raised him but then he left to sail the seven and a half seas.

"Why is this considered a throwaway character?"
"Well, so what if he had a mom that raised him? The mom has no purpose in the story."

A term many working classes and deeply religious people use to have an impressionable and coddled young person experience something unpleasant or humiliating, usually hard labor, something embarrassing, or confinement. Results usually end up either having the person's spirit broken or ending up with being just as much of an asshole as the person enforcing it.

Character hero

The one of the weaker characters in any fighting game. This character is usually so pathetic that only the best can win with him/her. Playing character hero is incredibly manly, regardless of whether the player wins or loses.

The phrase stems from guitar hero, where the player must play flawlessly in order to do well. similar to the above, a character hero must be used to perfection in order to even stand a chance.

Captain falcon in SSBB is a character hero. he has no redeeming traits, and is one of the worst characters in the game.
